Hi,
I need a little help, I have a veriable:
$var = "<br>blablabla...";
blablabla... is dynamic, so never the same, but there's always a <br> before that content, now I want to remove the first <br>, but in the dynamic content there are <br>'s, I want not to remove these too! So only remove the 1ste <br> of the string...
any ideas

However, substr_replace function doesn't check whether there actually is a "<br>" in front of the string or not - if there isn't it would simply remove 4 characters. But, you can use regular expression to do this too::

PHP Code:

$var = eregi_replace("^<br>", "", $var);

Now, if $var = "<br>something", it would remove it, but if $var="something", it would leave it intact.
